Chapter 139: The Marquis of Chujiang's Mansion

The whole mansion sits north and faces south.

In front of the house gate, there is a pair of stone lions, which are majestic and magnificent.

The door plaque is new, painted gold, and has just been hung up, with four big characters written on it: 'Chujiang Marquis Mansion'.

These four words, the pen walks the dragon and snake, quite a bit of Wei and Jin style.

After Lin Yuan inquired, he learned that the words were written by Zhao Gou himself.

Sure enough, Zhao Gou won the true biography of his father Song Huizong Zhao Ji, and was quite successful in calligraphy.

The steps in front of the door are established in accordance with the rules of the marquis, a total of two steps, each step is divided into seven small steps, and on the carved railings on both sides, there are also many Pixiu beasts carved.

When you go up the steps, there is a huge vermilion lacquer gate, 3 meters wide and 5 meters high, with 63 rivets in seven rows.

Atmospheric, spectacular, and magnificent.

After entering the Hou Mansion, the yard is paved with marble, which is very clean and tidy.

On either side of the front yard are porch pavilions, on which many strange colors are depicted.

In the past, the corridor pavilion was the east wing courtyard and the west wing courtyard, which were miscellaneous houses such as kitchens, and there were more than 20 large rooms, and there were already servants working here.

Zhao Gou rewarded him with a marquis' mansion, and even gave his servants away.

Of course, why these minions were gifted, everyone who understands knows what is going on.

Bypass the wall screen and walk into a very large front yard.

This is followed by the reception hall, which is as majestic as a palace and very beautiful.

Walk through the front hall and enter the middle courtyard, there are more than a dozen houses here, all of which are built in the form of some antique pavilions, there are study rooms, practice grounds, chess buildings, music pavilions, and it is Lin Yuan's leisure place.

Passing through the middle courtyard, you will reach the backyard.

The backyard is a three-row house, with Lin Yuan's bedroom in the middle and maids or attendants on either side.

And at the back of the bedroom, there is also a garden.

The garden is 5 acres in size, including ponds, rockeries, flowers and trees, pavilions, and water pavilions.

Lin Yuan walked down and felt that there was only one word, beautiful.

At this time, Wang Wenli opened his mouth to say goodbye, "Master Hou, what Your Majesty has rewarded you, you will be sent in a while, the small task has been completed, it's time to go back and resume your life!" ”

"I'm also the first time I came to the Hou Mansion, so I won't leave my father-in-law to sit down and drink tea, and I'll invite my father-in-law to come over to the house another day!" Lin Yuan said with a smile.

Wang Wenli covered his mouth and smiled, "Master Hou is too polite. ”

Lin Yuan immediately understood, so he quietly took out a golden ticket of 10 taels of gold from his arms and stuffed it into Wang Wenli's hand.

"Lin has just come to Ancheng, and he is not familiar with the place, so I hope my father-in-law will take care of him in the future!"

Wang Wenli glanced at the golden ticket given by Lin Yuan and was startled.

Generally, a little eunuch like them, if he goes to pass on an oracle, or goes to a minister's palace to leak some news, he will get a little reward.

However, the reward is not much, it is all some scattered silver, at most 10 taels.

And Lin Yuan's shot was too generous, and it was directly 10 taels of gold.

This is completely incomparable to other ministers.

Wang Wenli's heart was already happy.

"What the ancestor said is really right, Lin Ziyi occupied three prefectures and counties, looted a lot of treasures, and was already so rich that he couldn't spend all the money on his body."

"He was so generous with his first shot, and he paid it back later? It seems that in the future, I will have to walk around with him more. ”

So, Wang Wenli quietly hid the golden ticket.

He looked left and right, and found that there was no one else, so he whispered: "Lord Lin, be careful, there are many pairs of eyes staring at you in this Hou Mansion." ”

Lin Yuan smiled, he didn't expect to give the silver, and it would have an effect immediately.

He was a little fond of this eunuch.

"Haha, I will stay in the Hou Mansion, and I will definitely be loyal to Your Majesty and solve problems for Your Majesty."

Wang Wenli nodded, "In this way, the little one will go back to the palace to resume his life." ”

"Someone, send one for me."

Soon, one of Lin Yuan's personal guards stood up and sent Wang Wenli out of the house.

After Wang Wenli left, Zhao Yun spoke: "Lord, this person just revealed that the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty is spying on you, isn't it obvious?" ”

"Nope! What he meant was that in addition to Zhao Gou, there were other people who also inserted eyeliner and came in. ”

"So what do we do now?"

"Don't startle the snake yet, I don't know what their intentions are." Lin Yuan pondered for a moment.

"First arrange 100 personal guards, stay in the Hou Mansion, and break up all the personal guards and the existing servants and mix them together."

"The Lord means ......"

Lin Yuan replied: "I want to put all these eyeliners under my nose to monitor, if there is a chance, assimilation is not impossible." ”

"It's still the lord's wisdom." Zhao Yun said with a smile.

"Zilong, you go and gather all the servants together now, I have something to say."

"Yes!"

After Zhao Yun received the order, he turned around and left.

His movements were very fast, and soon, all the servants and maids of the entire Hou Mansion were gathered together.

After a simple count, there were a total of 180 servants and maids.

Among them, there are 80 male servants, including cleaners, gardeners, grooms, coachmen, scholars, chess boys, stick masters, and other professions.

There are 100 maids, and most of them are engaged in jobs such as washing, drying, ironing, cooking, needlework, bed warming, and lamp-holding...... And so on.

At a glance, I really can't find out who is eyeliner.

This group of servants, after being summoned by Lin Yuan, all lowered their heads and waited for a lecture.

Lin Yuan glanced at everyone and said directly: "From today on, all of you present are all from my Chujiang Hou Mansion, you are in my Hou Mansion, as long as you perform your duties and take care of the Hou Mansion with all your heart, this Hou will be rewarded!" ”

"In addition, you walk out of the Hou Mansion, on behalf of the face of my Hou Mansion, if you are bullied outside, give me the same place to call back, don't be afraid, there is Ben Hou to support you, even if it is the prime minister, I will be able to take a picture of it, Ben Hou will leave the words here today!"

All the servants and maids, you look at me, I look at you, and then at Lin Yuan, all of them are at a loss.

Lin Yuan's request was too strange.

In the era of the Song Dynasty, which was a hierarchical system, this kind of thing was not allowed to happen.

However, Chu Jianghou in front of him seemed to really want to challenge this rule.

One of the servants, who looked like a servant, asked, "My lord, if we fight back, will you really be able to support us?" ”

"Of course!" Lin Yuan nodded.

The little guy continued: "I was beaten by the nursing home in the Imperial Doctor's Mansion on the street a few days ago, can I really get back to the field? ”

Isn't it Wan Qiao?

Lin Yuan smiled coldly, pointed at him and said, "You take a few people tomorrow, find that person on the street, beat me hard, kill me and lose money!" ”

This little guy was a little excited, and he really believed it.
